It takes courage to seek help. I believe that every person can benefit from self-reflection and developing more effective ways to cope with the difficult parts of life. I strive to create collaborative therapeutic relationships with my clients with respect for each person's autonomy and strength. With over six years of experience working with young adults in a PHP/IOP setting, I aim to meet clients where they're at with empathy and compassion.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and holistic. Utilizing skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, I empower clients to make choices aligned with their goals and values.

I am also the co-founder of Connected Roots: a unique and holistic therapy practice built upon the three pillars of connection, grounding and confidence.

I am Alayna Baillod, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and the practice owner of Self Care Impact Counseling. We have offices in both Longmont and Lakewood Colorado.

Working with the Self Care Impact team will help guide you towards feeling more empowered, fulfilled and better prepared to tackle your complex personal & relational challenges. We are currently accepting new clients ages 12+ for Individual, Teen, Couples, or Family counseling. Discounted sessions are available for people with financial hardships.

Call 720-551-4553 and I’ll personally answer if I’m not in a session. You can also click here to send me an email. I’ll reply to schedule a free phone consultation to discuss your situation and match you with an appropriate member of our team.

Ruth believes that every person has the ability to grow towards health. With the support of a caring and strong therapist, clients are able to find the courage to look into their darkest places and find light. Symbol and metaphor are powerful tools to help move through this journey.

Ruth has found experiential therapies such as play therapy and wilderness therapy to be very effective.

Play Therapy is very effective in helping children ages 3-12 who experience a wide variety of issues.

• Social and Behavioral problems • Anxiety and Fears • Depression and Lack of Self Esteem • Physical and Sexual Abuse • Adoption and Foster Care • Trauma • Divorce or Separations • Transitions • PTSD

Ruth also works with adults and adolescents who struggle with these issues. Sessions can take place in her office or wilderness settings.

I serve adults, young professionals, students, and teens who are seeking support and greater wellbeing. I have extensive experience working with individuals who are experiencing challenging relationships, stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, mind-body concerns, and life transitions. I specialize in mindfulness and a relational approach to therapy, which focuses on developing a strong therapeutic relationship of authenticity and communication. I am committed to creating a welcoming and affirmative space for all people.

You may notice that I have an unusual degree. A PsychD is a doctorate from the United Kingdom and equivalent to an American PhD. I am a licensed psychologist in the UK and a registered psychotherapist in CO.
